No dog in this fight. Just making a distinction. A right way and a wrong way.

The last "Real" war was WWII, It probably won't be long till there is no American flag and we have some United Nations , one world flag.

I have trouble seeing how our still being in Afghanistan is protecting our way of life.

I have trouble seeing how our attack on Iraq protected our way of life.

10 years later and what have we won for our freedoms over there? Our men are dying over there. Why? It for damn sure doesn't make us any safer.

But that is clearly not an issue with the men and women in the military, but with the political machine who controls them.

I will always fly the American flag with pride. It's the voters, politicians etc., that are trying to dismantle this country that should take theirs down.
